I think "leftists" should reject completely dismissing this day of action & instead think abt how to channel folks into anti-capitalist & real anti-fascist work. Liberals have provided an opening, we should take advantage of it Offer people something better & show the material impact of capitalism

"[W]e are reprinting an editorial from the Clarksdale Press Register in Mississippi, which a Chancery Judge, Crystal Wise Martin, ordered removed.... We view this judicial overreach as an abuse of power, a blatant violation of constitutional rights, and a dangerous precedent that must be resisted."

“We found out where they lived, us punks. We started egging their houses on the regular. Including through the screens of their open windows. We harassed them whenever they made themselves visible. We didn't care that they were cops, the cops harassed us punks anyway.”

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

The rest of the world sees and knows America is falling to Nazis and are singing the historic song of resistance. Bella ciao is forever and we are going to be forced to carry its message through the darkness all free peoples are now at war with the fascists trying to take over the world.

This is one reason we're mad at Democrats in Congress. They could—as Republicans have done for decades—gum up the works and make it harder to move the fascist agenda forward. Instead they agree to make it easy. With only a handful of exceptions, every Dem in Congress needs to go. Clean house.🧹

#GeorgiaProtests, Tbilisi. 🇬🇪 Day 72 of continuous protest. 1000s on the streets of the Georgia capital again last night. The protestors chatting: "We don't want oligarchy, we demand democracy.” A message for the whole Western world. (🎥 Mariam Nikuradze, OC Media)

🚨NEWS: The chemical industry has sent a letter to Trump EPA chief Lee Zeldin asking him to shut down the government website that lets Americans know about high-risk chemical plants in their communities & the safety records of the companies running them. https://buff.ly/4jNK014

Goal setting for work every year os my least favorite part, mostly because I work in an IT department that takes Dev builds and translates them into packages that both work and scale. I'm responsive 60% or more of the time. How do I set goals when my work, by design, relies mostly on other depts?

Good thread. 10/10, definitely recommend.

Everyone please stop arguing for a minute and listen to @margaret.bsky.social! #Solidarity is the only way out. None of us are perfect and all of us are needed. margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/shoving-at...

That last line wouldn't be there if Rubio hadn't pressed. Why did Rubio press?

"what do you expect dems to even DO?" filibuster every bill. refuse to cooperate on anything unless demands are met. then cancel their vacations to filibuster some more. tell every single dem in gov that disloyalty = no reelection funds yknow, the stuff GOP have been doing successfully for years

T-Mobile USA has retired the T-Mobile app and the T-Mobile Tuesday app, and combined them both into the T-Life app. Opening the T-Mobile app encourages a download of the T-Life app. BUT! The T-Mobile app is a system app on phones ordered through T-Mobile. Brilliant plan there, TMo! 🙄

I'm 44. I remember being in my 20s before somebody actively questioned the panic defense on national television.

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

@onthemedia.bsky.social interview with Ed Zitron is a blistering takedown of the unrestrained greed of big tech, and the small-minded arrogance of their business. Really worth a listen: www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

Fuck

The two appropriate institutional answers to the Trump government: (1) Come back with a warrant; (2) Fucking make me.

Discord looks like somebody spent countless hours on message boards in the late 1990s / early 2000s and really wanted that experience back. It's just a pity that it's an absolutely terrible experience on a phone in 2025.

Chicago is awesome.

Jesus fuck this is a terrifying thought. Let's cut this off at the lass now, shall we?

Does anybody know the origin of this so proper credit can be given?

I cannot stress enough how FEW people actually took any action at all to fight back with others against any injustices in the past. Reading history helps. It's ALWAYS the minority of the minority. It's really really important to know this because this IS the reality of struggle.

This whole thread, about academics being told that their teaching materials are now subject to the scrutiny of everyone in the state, is horrifying. But man, this detail specifically is absolutely deranged from a legal/sovereignty/jurisdictional perspective.

This is so unbelievably fascist it's indescribable Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

This is fascism.

The Unravelling Begins.

Wearing a MAGA hat is a declaration of your support of fascism. It’s that simple.

new @teenvogue.com: @brittneymac15.bsky.social digs into the details of Trump's exec order on trans youth healthcare. I checked with an @aclu.org senior attorney on what trans youth and their families should plan for. in short: no changes RN; stay on top of your healthcare; don't comply in advance.

A) This isn't over. They are coming for these cuts in their forthcoming budget bill that will also include massive tax breaks for billionaires. B) Don't forget that they were 100% willing to cause enormous harm to millions of people. C) Public outcry still matters and can make a difference!

Trump 2 lasted a week and 2 days before they were forced to back down from one of their signature policy proposals by not even that much backlash. They're already hideously unpopular. They can be beaten. And we're going to do it again and again and again and again Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Surprised they didn’t call for celebrating the Führer’s birthday instead

Live to see the fall of your enemies Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I’m going to be honest, going through this thread has me fired the fuck up the federal government the day-to-day workers the people we don’t think about our gearing up to fight against the dying of the light. We need to have their backs and get this energy into our lives. This is all of our fight.

Me, smirking at the bear devouring my flesh: So you actually can’t do that it’s illegal. Focus on economics

Some intel: I've talked to journalists and folks on the Hill about this. Last night after OMB's action, some Senate Dems tried to unify the caucus to vote against Duffy. Schumer, among others, opposed it, and it flopped. The current Dem leadership strategy is to use strong language but not do shit.

Where are all the "Abolish ICE is a bad slogan and bad policy" liberals now? I'd like a word.

Border czar Tom Homan is on CNN complaining that Chicago is “very well educated” and people “know their rights” too well for ICE to be able to enforce mass deportations. Good work, neighbors.

Maybe you should be asking why you all got suckered by mega-corpo tech monopolies, VCs & Sam Altman that destroying the planet, eliminating jobs & subsidies to buy chips was the only way to be competitive on AI when the Chinese just did it with better coding.
